Some Characteristics of Network-Connectivity in Highways: Trip Chaining Analysis

The purpose of this paper is to identifiy the relation between highway construction and the formation of trip chainings by zone, considering both ratio of the munber of car-users after highway construction and the distance from the center area to each zone. After some characteristics concerning trip chaining patterns are empirically explored, a Markov-chain model is developed to estimate the values of the network-connectivity index before/after highway construction.
